Refinement Points Table
From the Response Surface tab, the View list box lets you select all available views of the selected response-surface-setup. All refinement points are shown in the Refinement Points table view:
Refinement points are points added to your model to enrich and improve your response surface. They can be generated with the response surface update, or added manually, as described in Performing a Manual Refinement below. As with design points, DesignXplorer must perform a design point update (a "real solve") in order to obtain the output parameters for the refinement points.
Upon update, the refinement points build the response surface and are taken into account for the generation of verification points. Along with DOE points, refinement points are also learning points for Goodness of Fit calculations.
Performing a Manual Refinement
Manual refinement is a way to force the response surface to take into account points of your choice, in addition to the points already in the Design of Experiments. You can insert a refinement point in the Refinement Points table view, and do not need to do an initial solve of the response surface (without the refinement point) before updating your response surface with your manual refinement. Manual refinement is available for all response surface types except for Sparse Grid.
Click Add or Delete to add, delete, or modify refinement points; you can also modify the point values directly in the grid.
Manual Refinement Point can be inserted from the Response point table and Verification Points table.
